Solar panels are used to convert the energy from sunlight to electrical energy. The different impacts on the solar panel which influences the productivity of the solar panel are Sun movement and dirt which generate the fundamental impact on solar panel. Because of those impacts, less yield generated by solar panel so to increase the effectiveness of the solar panel is by utilizing tracking and cleaning technique. There is a framework which is mix of tracking and cleaning. In this cutting-edge world, power is likewise added to the most fundamental requirements in everybody's day to day existence. With the expanding request of power, destruction of the natural resources is done and will be used for energy generation. To adjust the shortage of natural resources unconventional fuels are used for power generation and are used by the most part of world. Among all the unconventional fuel sources, power created by solar panel energy is broadly utilized. The abundancy of this type of energy is more all around the earth. A framework which tracks sun as well as automatic washing of solar panel with automated instructions is required. The instrument requires a LDR for following the sun and for cleaning wiper module is required. Regarding every day energy production, the sun tracking - cum cleaning plan gives more energy output when contrasted with the fixed PV module. Without this framework this cleaning work is done by man force which is good for small scale but for large scale like power plant it is very difficult. Then led display is required to display the result of the framework.

Solar energy is becoming an alternative for the limited fossil fuel resources. One of the simplest and most direct applications of this energy is the conversion of solar radiation into heat, which can be used in water heating systems. A commonly used solar collector is the flat-plate. A lot of research has been conducted in order to analyze the flat-plate operation and improve its efficiency. The solar panel can be used either as a stand-alone system or as a large solar system that is connected to the electricity grids. The earth receives 84 Terawatts of power and our world consumes about 12 Terawatts of power per day. We are trying to consume more energy from the sun using solar panel. In order to maximize the conversion from solar to electrical energy, the solar panels have to be positioned perpendicular to the sun. Thus the tracking of the sun’s location and positioning of the solar panel are important. The main goal of this article is explaining all the solar thermal systems available and the integration possibilities with comparisons for better usages and integration process into design.

Drying is a mandatory process carried out after harvest or production. Direct drying is a traditional method that is still used today, but this method has drawbacks because it depends on the weather. Pests, the rainy season, and at night are obstacles experienced in this process. This dryer can help solve common solutions for manufacturers. A dryer coated with clear acrylic it can protect the produce from rain, dust, and pests. The solar panel functions as a power source for the temperature controller in the dryer. 40-50 C is the right temperature when drying, it is not recommended that temperatures exceed 50 because it can cause dry food ingredients outside. Incandescent lamps and mini fans are temperature control devices to stabilize the temperature inside with temperatures of 40 ̊ to 50 C. Incandescent lamps also allow manufacturers to dry at night so that the drying process can be shorter than usual. The result found by the dryer is that it has a cross-sectional area of ​​2100 cm2 with a maximum capacity of 13 pieces with a diameter of 7 cm. The drying rate with the sun reaches 0.6% per hour, and the energy needed by the sun for 10 hours of drying is 36288 kJ. The power that can be produced by solar panels is 100 watts with the electrical energy needed for 10 hours of drying with a controller of 3600J.

Abstract Photovoltaic panel as a producer of renewable energy is increasingly being utilized. The electrical energy produced by photovoltaic panel can be used for aeration in fish ponds located quite isolated and far from the main electricity grid. Aeration is important for fishery because it affects the dissolved oxygen level in the water. The system uses two units of 50 Wp floating solar panels and four units of DC aerator of 12 Volt/0.28 A. The measurement of solar irradiance, solar panel temperature, output voltage and current was conducted to monitor floating solar panel performance. Dissolved oxygen level measured in the water without aeration was 3 - 3.9 mg/L while after using floating photovoltaic panels to supply the electrical energy for aerators, dissolved oxygen level in the water was increased to 4.1 - 4.8 mg/L.

A solar panel is a device that can convert solar energy into electricity. The use of solar energy sources can be utilized as street lighting and garden lights. Today many use of solar panels mounted in static (silent) positions in one direction at one focal point will not get the maximum power point of the sun and sunlight received by the solar panel slightly so that it is inefficient at the time of charging the battery.The amount of solar energy that can be absorbed depends on the absorption of sunlight. Absorption can be optimized by making solar panels can continue to face the sun. This system uses ATMEGA8535 microcontroller with one temperature sensor to detect high solar thermal temperature received by solar panels and four photodiode sensors as a detection of light reflection received. These sensors can be able to provide a dynamic solar panels that are automatic and optimal in absorbing sunlight. With the absence of the use of solar panels as the lighting of the garden lights in Stmik Amik Riau and still using electrical energy from PLN, the purpose of this study is to build a solar panel control device that is able to follow the movement of the direction of the arrival of sunlight so it will be optimal in absorbing sunlight.Keywords: Solar Panel, microcontroller, Temperature Sensor, Photodiode Sensor

Solar energy is a renewable energy. Solar energy can be utilized using solar panels. The use of solar panels mostly uses static or silent methods. The static method on solar panels cannot produce optimal electrical energy. This is because the intensity of sunlight received by solar panels is less than optimal. So that the resulting electrical energy is not optimal. Therefore we need a system that can control solar panels automatically. this system must also be able to follow the direction of movement of sunlight. This study discusses the dual axis solar tracker using smart relay-based astronomical methods. This study adjusts the angle of the solar panels to determine the movement of the sun. This study uses a smart relay to regulate the rotation of the DC motor (Linear Actuator) and the motor power window which functions as a driving force for solar panels. Astronomical method is used for tracking sunlight. This method is based on the position of the sun according to the lunar calendar. This method uses an angle sensor in the form of a variable resistor for elevation and a rotary encoder as an azimuth angle sensor. The results obtained from this study are the optimal electrical energy output from solar energy.

One of the new and renewable energy is the utilization of sunlight into electricity. which can be used to be converted into electrical energy using solar panels. Installation of solar panels that are installed for garden lights so far are often still placed in a static position (silent) at an angle of 90⁰, while the sun moves from sunrise to sunset. Because it will cause maximum energy absorption in solar panels placed in a static position only at 12:00. To overcome this problem a system is needed to track the position of the sun so that it is always perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel. Design and build Garden lights with a solar light tracking system on a microcontroller-based solar panel will later be made to move as it follows the direction of the sun's movement every hour, from sunrise to sunset. This tool will detect the time setting inputted by Real Time Clock (RTC) which is then processed by a microcontroller to drive a servo motor that functions as a solar panel drive machine so that the position of the solar panel will always be perpendicular to the sun throughout the day and the absorption of energy in the solar panel will more leverage. From the results of tests that have been done, the increase in the voltage of solar panels using a tracking system compared to solar panels without using a tracking system is 7.85%.
